CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a continuation of U.S. Utility application Ser. No. 15/088,942 filed on Apr. 1, 2016, entitled “TOOL KITS,” which will issue as U.S. Pat. No. 10,661,957 on May 26, 2020, which claims the benefit of and priority to the following provisional applications: U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62/141,575 filed on Apr. 1, 2015, entitled “TOOL KITS” and U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62/315,906 filed on Mar. 31, 2016, entitled “TOOL KITS,” all of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.

BACKGROUND 1. The Field of the Invention

The present invention is generally related to tools and, in particular, tool kits having a substantially planar form with detachable/breakaway tool components.

2. The Relevant Technology

Many tools have a substantially three dimensional form, such that they are easy to be handled and manipulated by a user. However, this form factor can limit the portability of certain tools. This can be particularly problematic when there is a need to carry one or more kits of different tools, but the user (e.g., wilderness explorers, hikers, military personnel, etc.) does not want to sacrifice storage space and weight limits that are typically associated with the kits of tools and/or the containers used to contain the kits of tools.

Presently, there are a number of tool kit systems on the market that incorporate some form of a substantially flat form factor. These systems generally include a fixed, rigid perimeter surrounding a rigid planar field. The tools of a particular kit are formed by removing portions of the rigid field within the confines of the fixed perimeter. In this way, the rigid perimeter portion of the tool system functions only to contain the tools themselves and to act merely as an attachment point for the tools.

Other systems have modified the rigid fixed perimeter previously described by altering the exterior profile of the fixed perimeter in a manner that provides function. For instance, rigid fixed perimeters have been modified to include a saw-tooth profile such that even when tools are removed from the interior planar field, the fixed exterior profile remains functional to saw certain materials.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In some disclosed embodiments, tool kits are provided that enable the exterior portions of the tool kits to be used for functional purposes, once they are removed from the card body. In some embodiments, the tool components can also be used prior to their removal from the card(s). Some of the disclosed embodiments improve upon known tool/card systems by allowing portions of the exterior perimeter of the disclosed tool kits to be detachable from the main body portion and to provide utility to the user in both their initial configuration and as separate stand-alone use. Further, the present invention teaches an improvement wherein removal of a portion of the initial exterior perimeter of a planar tool kit creates a new exterior perimeter profile with renewed or alternate utility relative to the utility of the initial exterior perimeter profile. Utilization of the exterior portion of the tool kit can also help maximize layout and make efficient use of space constraints, without requiring a dedicated portion of the card/kit to remain as an unused boundary to the other tools.

In some instances, the tool kits are manufactured into a substantially planar form factor that enables the tools to be contained in a portable and accessible form, while significantly reducing space and weight requirements compared to related tools in the industry. The removably attached tools also allow for the function of the tool kits to be altered or renewed as the user removes and/or disposes of one or more of the detachable tools.

The form factor for some of the disclosed embodiments improve upon existing planar tool kits by forming at least a portion of the exterior perimeter profile from the tool-kit tools themselves such that, when certain tools are detached, the exterior perimeter profile is changed. This improvement aids not only in decreasing wasted material and reducing weight, but in some embodiments also increases the longevity and utility of the tool by allowing for tool redundancy or tool renewal.

In one embodiment of a planar tool kit, as illustrated in FIG. 1, a substantially planer saw kit 10 includes a pair of similar detachable saws 16 and 17. Saw kit 10 may include a number of cutouts, such as hole 14, to enable a user to better manipulate or attach saw kit 10 to other materials such as by using the cutouts to tie a saw to a stick. Saw blades 16 and 17 may be attached along area/void 15 with one or more breakable tabs (e.g., tab 18) or by any other means suitable to connect blades 16 and 17. Although only one tab 18 is shown, any number of tabs may be incorporated along any portion of the area/void 15. In all other disclosed embodiments, herein, similar tabs may be used to detachably connect the disclosed tool components. Rather than tabs, the tool components can also be connected together by recessed portions of the material between the tool components (without forming a void 15). The recessed portion can be formed, for example, by etching the material and/or stamping the material between the components. Irrespective of how the tool components are connected and/or how the tab/recesses are formed, a user, through physical manipulation of saw portions 16 and 17, can separate the two portions by bending and/or breaking the connection between the two portions/tool components.

In all other disclosed embodiments, herein, similar tabs/recesses are formed between the detachable tool components.

In an embodiment such as FIG. 1, the initial exterior perimeter profile of the saw kit 10 is characterized by a narrow serrated edge 13 on two sides. However, if a user of saw kit 10 separates saws 16 and 17, the exterior perimeter profile of saw kit 10 is changed in a manner that results in one edge of the exterior perimeter profile remaining serrated edge 13 and another edge becoming the larger toothed profile 12. It should be appreciated that while FIG. 1 illustrates two saws 16 and 17, saw kit 10 could be configured with more than two detachable saws. In such an embodiment, a user could repeatedly change the exterior perimeter profile of saw kit 10 by removing additional saws. A user may do this if one saw is damaged or if a different saw-tooth profile would be more beneficial for a particular cutting application.

FIG. 2 illustrates a different planar tool kit embodiment in the form of a survival tool kit. FIG. 2 includes a survival kit 20 comprising a serrated saw 21 forming one portion of the exterior perimeter of survival kit 20. As shown, serrated saw 21 is removably attached to trident 22, spear tip 23, strap 24, tweezer 25, needle 26, small game snare 27, and fish-hook 28, among other tools. Serrated saw 21 may be removably attached to other components within survival kit 20 either directly or through the use of breakable tabs.

In some embodiments, the tweezer 25 is removed and folded to perform a tweezing function with opposing ends of the tweezer 25. Similarly, the tweezer 25 is also configurable as a cotter pin that can be removed and folded into a working cotter pin.

In such an embodiment, upon removal of serrated saw 21 by a user, the exterior portion of survival kit 21 is modified and the function of the survival kit 20, as a whole, is changed. Here, the removal of serrated saw 21 allows the user access to an alternative wood saw profile 29, as well as to the exterior profile portions of trident 22 and spear tip 23.

It is important to note that, as illustrated by FIG. 2, a portion of the exterior profile of the survival kit 20 has utility for a user both in its initial attached configuration as well as in a secondary detached configuration. Here, the serrated saw 21 is usable in an attached and detached form and wood saw 29 is additionally available to the user when in detached form. It should also be noted that once a portion of survival kit 20 that initially defined a portion of the exterior perimeter is removed, survival kit 20 a secondary exterior profile is created that is operable to provide renewed or alternative utility to the remaining portions of the main body of survival kit 20.

In some embodiments, the planar tool kit is configured in a manner that allows a series of tools to be used in a particular sequence as they are detached and/or disposed of. For instance, in one embodiment, a tool kit includes multiple tools that are useful for completing a particular process (in sequence) like disassembly of a firearm. Initially, such a firearm disassembly kit includes an external profile useful for scraping or otherwise cleaning the exterior of soiled firearm in order to gain access to assembly components like screws/files that are located proximate the scraping components. However, the tools/components are laid out and arranged in the card/tool configuration such that the tools/components that are to be used first are located externally (closer to or including the outer boundary of the planar card body) relative to the tools/components that are used subsequently. For instance, once cleaning has been completed, the initial scraper tool that formed the initial exterior profile is detached and/or discarded by the user subsequently exposing a secondary tool like a screwdriver. Because the screwdriver tool is still attached to the main body, a user may have a mechanical advantage in using the tool over a tool that must be detached prior to use. Again, once the user has complete use of the secondary tool, it is detachable subsequently exposing the exterior profile of tertiary tool such as a pin displacement tool. In this manner, a single planar tool kit could be utilized for completion a specialized sequential task.

Referring now to FIG. 3, a planar tool kit is shown including a rifle cleaning kit 30. Cleaning kit 30 includes a multi-scraper tool 31 with a detachable serrated edge 32. Detachable serrated edge 32 may be attached to multi-scraper tool 31 either directly or by breakable tabs. In the event that a user dulls or otherwise damages serrated edge 32 in the course of using the multi-scraper tool 31, the user may detach serrated edge 32 exposing a fresh serrated edge 33. It should be noted that serrated edges 32 and 33 may be utilized by a user whether or not multi-scraper 31 is attached or detached from cleaning kit 30. Further, in contrast to prior planar tool kit systems, the present invention creates improved utility by allowing the exterior perimeter profile of cleaning kit 30 to be modified through removal of used or damaged portions of the initial exterior perimeter profile. In this case, serrated edge 32 forms the initial perimeter profile of cleaning kit 30. Upon detachment by a user, serrated edge 33 defines a new exterior perimeter profile with renewed utility.

In some embodiments, as shown, the rifle cleaning kit 30 is configured with a punch 36, which is operable to punch a hole and to clean holes in a rifle.

Notably, some embodiments of the rifle cleaning kit 30 include a plurality of different multi-scraper tool 31 components and a plurality of punches 36.

It should be appreciated that in the present invention, the utility of the initial exterior perimeter and any subsequent exterior perimeter created by detachment need not be the same or even substantially similar. Thus, while this particular embodiment illustrates a substantially similar renewal of function upon detachment of a portion of the initial exterior perimeter, serrated edge 33 may be configured to have a different saw-tooth profile (i.e., a greater or fewer number of teeth per inch) than serrated edge 32 or even provide an entirely different function than serrated edge 32.

FIG. 4 illustrates an embodiment of a planar tool kit in the form of sew repair kit 40. Sew repair kit 40 includes a series of tools including straight sewing needle 43, straps 44, curved sewing needle 45, scissors 48, and buttons 49. Profiles of the aforementioned tools are created by voids 41 indicative of material being removed or omitted from the planar card as part of the manufacturing process. The tools within sew repair kit 40 are held in place by breakable tabs 42.

Sew repair kit 40 illustrates a planar tool kit having an initial exterior perimeter defined by the tools of the repair kit itself. Rather than utilizing a perimeter structure with the primary function of containing the kit's tools, this embodiment incorporates the tools themselves into the structure. In this manner, the kit can include additional tools, reduce overall weight, reduce waste, and/or modify the utility of the kit as a whole.

In some embodiments, the tool kits have a planar form that is defined by a substantially rectangular shape. In some instances, the tool kits have the general appearance and shape of a card, with similar dimensions to typical credit cards that can be fit into a pocket of a wallet or a user's clothing (e.g., about 2 inches in width by about 3.5 inches in length).

In many instances, the width of the tool kit is between about one inch and about 3 inches, while the length is between about 2 inches and 5 inches. In other instances, the size dimensions of the tool kit will exceed the width and length of a typical credit card. For instance, the tool kit can have dimensions that exceed several inches in length and/or width (e.g., greater than 3 inches, greater than 4 inches, greater than 5 inches, greater than 8 inches, greater than 12 inches, etc.).

The width and length of the tool kit can also be less than about 1 inch in width and less than about 2 inches in length, particularly when the tool kit is configured for use with identification badges (e.g., dog tags) and/or jewelry (e.g., bracelets, pendants, etc.)

The thickness of the tool kit is preferably less than about 0.125 inches and, preferably less than about 20 mm. In many instances, the tool kit has a thickness of less than 10 mm. In one instance, for example, the tool kit has a thickness of about 5 mm

The tool kit can be manufactured out of a metal (e.g., aluminum, copper, steel and/or any metal alloy), plastic (e.g., polyethylene (PE, HDPE, LDPE), polypropylene (PP) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), nylon, polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon), other thermoset plastics or thermoplastics, military grade plastics, Kydex and/or any other plastic material), and/or ceramic material.

In some instances, the tool kit and all of the attached components are manufactured out of a single material. In other embodiments, one or more of the tool kit components are manufactured out of a different material than one or more of the other tool kit components or holding frame of the tool kit.

When manufactured out of different materials, the tool kit components can be attached by a welding process, a laminate backing that overlaps two or more of the tool kit components, by an adhesive and/or by any other attachment mechanism.

In many embodiments, the tool kit includes tool components that are positioned along an edge of the tool kit, defining an edge of the tool kit (which can eliminate or reduce an amount of wasted material required for a holding frame). For instance, each of the illustrated tool kits includes one or more tool components that form a part of an outer edge of the tool kit.

In some instances, the tool kit includes tool components that must be assembled or manipulated after being removed from the tool kit before forming a desired tool. By way of example, the spear point and multi spear points tool kits of can include multiple spear blades that are detachable from the tool kit and which can be assembled to form a single assembled spear tip when attached to a shaft, for instance.

Another feature that is evident in many of the tool kits of the present disclosure is the manner in which the tool components are held together while still maintaining open space between different portions/edges of the tool components. In particular, some of the tool components are only held together by small attachment points between the tool components, with open space between the remaining portions of the tool components. However, it will be appreciated that any of the regions between the illustrated tool components can comprise open spaces (even if not specifically called out). The open space is beneficial for eliminating waste of material during manufacturing and by helping to reduce the overall weight of the tool kit.

To protect a user from sharp edges, the tool kit can be laminated by one or more thin plastic cover(s) on one or both sides of the kit(s) and/or the kit(s) can be contained in plastic envelopes/sheaths.

A laminate cover can be a simple one sided tape material or a sprayed laminate.

A plastic envelope can be useful for holding tool components that have been detached. Although not shown, the envelope/sheath can be sized and shaped to snuggly fit around the tool kit (with or without a flap to help retain the tool kit within the envelope. Preferably, the envelope is a transparent and thin plastic, although paper envelopes can also be used. The envelope/laminate covering can also be configured to the shape of the tool kit, such as when the tool kit includes a dog tag or other identification object, jewelry or other non-rectangular tool kit form factors.

Other form factors for the tool kit components include credit cards (which have an operational magnetic strip or readable chip), invitations, dog tags, ID tags, coasters, key chains, bookmarks, and so forth.

Edges between tool components can comprise serrated or sharpened edges, such as between the spear points or any of the other tool components. The serrated or sharpened (tapered) edges can be formed by a stamping manufacturing process, as well as by chemical etching or any other suitable manufacturing process.

In some instances, at least some of the tool components are attached to other tool components by thin attachment points or segments. These attachment points/segments are defined by a thickness that is less than a thickness of the tool components.

While the different tool components and their use should be self-evident to those of skill in the art, specific attention will be provided for a few of the tool kit components to provide examples of use.

The sew repair kit of includes needles that can be removed and used to thread a strand of material by placing an end of the strand through an eye (hole) of the needle. The sew repair kit also includes button structures that can be used to attach the button structures to a material by threading a string or other stranded material through the holes in the button and the material.

The spear tip kits include spear blades that can be removed and fastened to a shaft by passing a pin or cord through the holes formed in the spear blades. The saw tool components can also be fastened to a handle in like manner.

Attention is now directed to the tool kit shown in FIG. 5, which includes an irregular edged tool that can operate as a sidewall support for a stove when two or more of the wall components are linked together, such as by linking arms A1 and A2 into arms B1 and B2. The air holes can include openings and/or tool components that are detachable from the wall such as the cord cleats, lures (forming removable circular pieces from the cord cleat holes), and tinder scraper (which also includes a serrated edge that is operable as a saw/knife).

One or more fuel pockets are formed into the sidewall of the stove, once the inner tool components are removed, such as the tinder scraper and cleats. Three or more of the stove tool kits are connectable to form an interconnected stove (e.g., by linking the arms of opposing stove tool kits. This fuel pocket window (positioned inside of the sidewall or along a bottom edge of the sidewall) can include serrated edges to operate as a knife or other tool (when removed).

It will be appreciated that any combination of the foregoing features can be combined into one or more of the different tool kit(s), having any footprint shape (e.g., rectangular, triangular, circular, oval, etc.), having a substantially planar form and substantially any width/length, formed out of one or more materials, covered or uncovered, with sharpened/serrated edges, unsharpened edges, open spaces between tool components, with one or more tool components contained within outer edges of the tool kit(s), with one or more tool components positioned along and including/defining edges of the tool kit(s), and/or any of the other foregoing features described herein.

These tool kits can provide advantages over other systems, such as survival tool described in U.S. Pat. No. 8,162,784. In particular, the present tool kits can be formed to omit wasted space and excess weight present in the systems described in U.S. Pat. No. 8,162,784, by inserting the tool components more closely and by leaving more open space than in the '784 patent. The '784 also fails to utilize outer edges of the tool kit as part of the tool kit components. The '784 patent also fails to disclose many of the tool components and kit configurations that are described in this application, including the rifle repair kit, sewing kit, saw kit, escape kit, and other kits shown and described herein.

The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. For instance, it will be appreciated that the tool kits can also include other tool components that are not specifically called out or illustrated, including hair clips, paper clips, binder clips, staples, and so forth. The described embodiments are, therefore, to be considered in all respects only as illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the invention is generally reflected by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description.
